When mlx5_packet_reformat_alloc() fails, the encap_header allocated in
mlx5e_tc_tun_create_header_ipv4{6} will be released within it. However,
e->encap_header is already set to the previously freed encap_header
before mlx5_packet_reformat_alloc(). As a result, the later
mlx5e_encap_put() will free e->encap_header again, causing a double free
issue.
mlx5e_encap_put()
--> mlx5e_encap_dealloc()
--> kfree(e->encap_header)
This happens when cmd: MLX5_CMD_OP_ALLOC_PACKET_REFORMAT_CONTEXT fail.
This patch fix it by not setting e->encap_header until
mlx5_packet_reformat_alloc() success.
Fixes: d589e785baf5e ("net/mlx5e: Allow concurrent creation of encap entries")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
